Open Letter to Steve Jobs

Mr. Jobs,

I like you. You’re a smart guy. You have a good presentation style, and you’re good at working a crowd. There’s just one thing: you don’t know how to pronounce or use the phrase et cetera (etc). There is no “hard C” sound to be found in et cetera. It’s not ECK-cetera, it is ET-cetera. Furthermore, et cetera does not mean “and so forth.” It means “and others.” Your incorrect use and pronunciation of this phrase stands in stark contrast to the rest of your persona.

Sincerely,

Mark Jaquith

P.S. You can delay Leopard if it means there will be Finder improvements.
